Abstract

Ancillary studies allow researchers to leverage the high-value data collected as part of a primary trial or study, augment it with new measurements, and answer questions that were not part of the primary study design. Management of ancillary studies is complex, so tool support is desirable. We review the core scenarios that an ancillary study management system (ASMS) would need to support. We are currently developing an open-source, general-purpose ASMS based on LabKey Server.
